Q: Would you rather get to the big leagues in two years as an outfielder or in three years as a catcher?
A: Whoever drafts me, whatever they want to do with me, I'll do. I love to catch. I've loved to catch my whole life. But playing in the outfield and being able to hit and play in every single game, that's a big difference. Anywhere I can help a club, I'll help them. Anywhere they need me or want to use me, I'll do whatever they want. I love to catch and love to play the outfield.

Reds fan here
I’ve come to cheer you on as you play the Cardinals. With a win, you not only help yourselves, but you help my team have firmer grasp on first place in the NL Central. So go, Nats! Bring NatsTown to the Lou! Kick some Cardinal ass!
Me, too

Sadly, the Strasburg watch has been thrown into complete chaos.
Mighty Stras can defeat AAA. The forces of nature, not yet.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
I've been thinking of going to Syracuse to see him
But I don’t know if I’ll manage it before he’s called up. Plus, Alliance Bank is such a small park. They’re probably sold out whenever Strasburg is pitching.

I had tickets for the (Sunday and) Monday game against the PawSox....
of course they pushed him back a day to tuesday in Rochester….sigh

And they got rained out today.
That’s got to throw everything off. Must have been a major runup for tickets to tomorrow’s game where he’s pledged to pitch the 2nd game of a day-night doubleheader.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
You'd think Stras could control the weather by now... geez... more AAA ball for him!
Ian Desmond is my hero!
He will now experience the thrill of playing on 7 days rest.
This rainout will give the pundits all of the opportunity in the world to try to recalibrate the clock. it’s a little bit of a problem for us, but for the Syracuse folks it’s got to be a nightmare.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Apprently in Twit-land – they are saying it wont affect his potential call up…
from Kilgore:
The rainout in Rochester does nothing to affect Strasburgs debut date. He needed multiple days off, anyhow. I;d bank on June 4.
how does it affect his clock up here?
Ian Desmond is my hero!
Because had they been counting on every 5 days it would have backed him up a date
Instead of pitching today on an extra day’s rest. He’s pitching tomorrow at 7 on two extra days rest.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
"You'd think Stras could control the weather by now... geez..."...SIG WORTHY!!!....... heh...

3-1. Solid game from Clegg whose ERA is down to around 4 or so although he gave up like 7H in 5IP. The big bats were pretty much silent.

Our last team was bit by the Ta-virus as well.
Didn’t he make some outs for the Reds?
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
He didn't make enough outs to take over Gary Matthews, Jr's role
As the King Outmachine in the NL East.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Let's just say
The T-virus almost made us long for the return of Corey Patterson.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Who we will get an up close and personal look at as he tries to save the O's season
He was hitting 7/23 for the O’s and making them love him. Then he saw Zach Greinke and struck out on 3 pitches. Corey will never realize that he’s not that good and needs to take pitches and live off of speed. The fact that he’s already hit a HR is the worst thing that could happen to him. We had him in AAA and brought him up for a cup of coffee last year too. Fugly, fugly player.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
I know
I went to Syracuse last year when the Louisville Bats were there, and saw C-Pat.
I was very amused when he was cut a couple of days later…for another Reds reject, Norris Hopper.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Good gosh
I think a lot of these kind of AAAA guys look at the Nats, see our awful outfield, and figure we’re always one injury away from them getting a callup. We’ve got Kevin Mench and Chris Duncan on this year’s roster.
Martis is pretty much off the prospect radar right now, although he’s still in the Syracuse rotation. Doubt they’ll move him to the bullpen yet while they are experimenting with sending Balester there.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
I was kind of surprised
when you guys cut Elijah Dukes. I know he had issues, but with all the concessions they made for him, I wasn’t expecting him to be cut so unceremoniously.
He was gawd-awful on defense when the Nats played the Yanks last year. So bad Corey Patterson was called up the next day to play CF. But Dukes’ stick looked to be better than Two-Pitch-At-Batterson’s.

He was a Bowden guy in a Rizzo Regime
Rizzo likes chemistry. Dukes was bad chemistry. They told him to work on some things during the offseason in the Mexican League and he didn’t do it.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Hahahaha I privately couldn't wait for him to be dropped
Just did it because….I dunno, just did it.

Yuck.
Evil Frederick beat Potomac 3-1 in the first game. Looks like Boomer Whiting had the only two hits. Norris had an error behind the plate. Burgess had an outfield assist. Both Norris and Burgess drew a walk and went 0-2 otherwise.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Arizona stinks!
When do we get to play them? They lost 8-0 today, and I believe the Fish benched Hanley Ramirez for not running out a ground ball last night and getting into a hissy fit when he refused to apologize after he was taken out of last night’s game early.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
huge stink at the Fish...
Hanley has completely blown up over there… I think Si.com has the story along with others…I cant see the situation staying ‘static’…someone has to go.
Ian Desmond is my hero!
We've been joking about the Reds trading for Hanley Ramirez since the deadline last year
Now, it looks like it could be serious…

I cant see him staying – the story very much looks like 24 of his fellow players hate his guts.

That someone would be Gonzalez
Because Hanley ain’t going anywhere. They better win soon because otherwise Freddy has lost his locker room.

I figured Gonzalez might go too..
but it sends a horrific signal to the clubhouse…im not sure there is much mutual respect for Hanley in there. Helms has publicly called him out to apologize.

I haven't read that Verducci article
But so far the Reds are managing Leake’s arm pretty well. He’s pitched deep into games, but he’s been efficient about it and hasn’t racked up a huge pitch count in any of them. We’ll see how things go by the end of the season, but so far, obviously, I have no complaints.

heh, yea i dont think managing young guys arms is an exact science either. I think with Riggles still haunted by Kerry Wood. And Rizzo is pretty conservative with these guys too…
Ian Desmond is my hero!
Rizzo is the Sheriff of Natstown
He’ll let Riggles play around his small ball foolishness as long as he creates a positive environment for the youngin’s. But the 2nd he’s tempted to misuse Stras, Storen, or Desmond he’s curtains.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Big problem is if we're in a playoff race this season...
Hard to pull a guy early when you are 1 or 2 games out of the wild card…
Ian Desmond is my hero!
The Reds fans have come out to support here tonight...
…nothing but love for the Reds right now. I’m rooting for them even if it’s against our best interests. Before I was rooting for the Cards to beat up on the league and lower the wildcard bar. Now I’ve been reminded of such incontrovertible facts as “if they hit, Mark McGwire the juicer will get credit” or if they show pluck “John Feinstein will write another worshipful paperweight in praise of Tony LaRussa” or “Holiday was a big market signing that raises the market for us littler guys”
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!

Two statements:
1.) Riggleman said the procedure was performed by a Nationals team doctor and was “really of no significance” to his playing time in the near future.
2.) When asked, Riggleman declined to go into further detail.
Something smells fishy….
It could be hinder-related.

Based on what happened with my dad after his hemorrhoid surgery, he’s not likely to be playing tomorrow if that’s what it is.

I don't mind the bunts.
I’d just like him to be more conscious of situation. I’d also like for him to think about hitting it the other way to make the draw in 3B pay more often.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Please explain to me why you are trying to bunt with two outs Nyjer.
You are not in scoring position and you always get thrown out trying to steal. Perhaps a double or a triple would be a better idea. You just hit a line drive at someone and you might be able to do it again.
Nyjer needs Davey Lopes to teach him how to deploy is speed and skills.

Hanny is really not that bad.
Remember the WBC kind of screwed up his spring that year and we tried to make him our closer, a role that he was utterly unprepared to handle between the ears. Crooked hat is okay, but we may come to regret the Hanrahan part of that deal in the long run. I wish nothing but success to him.
Hanrahan’s story is kind of why we need to be a bit more cautious with our prospects going forward.

No doubt.
That’s how the offense goes. In bunches. And the best hitters on the team are very streaky, so there will be down times.

i know Harris is somewhat of a cult hero around here, but he’s barely replacement level. yes, he’s got a good glove (primarily in left), but hit his approach at the plate is either home run or walk at this point. he isn’t making contact and when he does, it’s usually pounding it into the ground toward the second baseman.

Wil's lucky he doesn't have options.
Because if this were about performance he’d be a Chief at this point and we’d give Maxwell a genuine shot at the platoon. Willie has too much history though with this club. Riggles values his veterans. He’s going to give Willie every chance to return to his mighty .682 OPS. And Willie’s going to keep thinking that he’s one at bat away. I was at that game where he hit the 2-run HR at Nationals Park. Wasn’t that Chico’s start?

Yeah, but don't overstate the point
The expected runs drops, but only by a tenth of a run or so (1st/2nd 0 out). And in certain circumstances, it makes sense at the bottom of the order.
It’s not optimum, but it’s not as bad as some make it sound.

That's the stupid thing about SAC bunting
you need to be dern sure that the guys behind the bunter can hit the ball into the outfield. We bunt with Thrillie and Nyjer coming up, when the outcome is more than likely a FAIL
Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
Why the anti-Wil?
Guys…there were TWO other batters that didnt get the ball out of the IF??!
Ian Desmond is my hero!
If Wil is a decent hitter, you don't bunt.
If he’s a bad hitter the bunt may be acceptable.

I agree that Wil sucks – but at the end of the day 2 guys could hit the ball out of the infield….if the first does we tie the game. It’s not just Wil’s fault (and i dont have much love for him either)
